J. B. Priestley
  • We pay when old for the excesses of youth.

  • There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age, I missed it coming and going.

  • Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch.

  • The greatest writers of this age... are aware of the mystery of our existence.

  • The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.
